My happy place is in the kitchen cooking up something delicious and nutritious for my family. And now that Parks is getting older, he is also expressing a lot of interest in helping me in the kitchen! I have every hope that he will fall in love with cooking just like his mama, but even more than that I hope I can teach him about where his food is coming from and what it takes to prepare it. I think it's important for kids to learn how to prepare food for themselves and that comes from spending time in the kitchen! One thing that we have really been working on is washing our hands before and after we make anything so that our hands stay clean. With constant hand washing however, toddler hands (and mama hands) can become dry! That's why I am loving Dial Complete® 2 in 1 Moisturizing & Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash for me and for my son to keep our hands sanitized and moisturized at the same time!

Guys...I have been keeping a secret about a little (no wait big) project that I have been working on for a few months now! I am working on my SECOND cookbook that is to be released this fall! This time around it's all about the babies though, and I am so happy to tell you that I am releasing a cookbook, The Homemade Baby, this fall that will be stocked full of recipes for babies just starting on solids all the way through the toddler years!

They always say don't blink because it all passes so quickly, and at the time when you are tired from sleepless nights, you are covered in spit up, and can't quite remember what your old body felt like...it's hard to see how that could be true. Well I blinked and here we are one year after our lives changed forever, and Canean Parks Chatagnier was born. Just like that, truly in a blink of an eye, a whole 365 days have passed. Our baby boy who struggled while taking his first breaths and came into our lives rather traumatically, is vibrant and so full of joy that he brightens our days more than he will ever know.

'm baaackkk...well kinda. I am not fully back into working mode, but am slowly but surely easing my way back into it. I wanted to tell you about my first month with new baby and fill you in on Parks's birth story while it was all still fresh on my mind! I honestly cannot believe that it has been a month since he was born. Time is flying by at a scary pace. This month has been the hardest, best month of my life and I just can't believe Canean and I have been blessed with such a sweet little boy that we get to call ours forever.
